Advanced Training Programme “JOSEF”
Equivalence Check
The potential equivalence of the
learning outcomes of the advanced trai-
ning programme “JOSEF“ and those of
university degree programmes was as-
sessed through the application of two
methodological tools, namely the Lear-
ning Outcome Chart (LOC) and the Mo-
dule Level Indicator (MLI).
The Learning Outcome Chart (LOC)
shows the overlap in content of the
learning outcomes of the advanced
training programme and the degree
programme. The Module Level Indi-
cator (MLI) is being used to assess the
academic level of the learning units
and modules. A more detailed descrip-
tion of the methodological tools is
presented in the respective introduc-
tion to the results of this assessment.
Materials Used For the Equivalence Check
Basis for the assessment of the advan-
ced training programme “JOSEF”:
The complete online learning environ-
ment “JOSEF” including all teaching
literature, multimedia elements and
online assignments,
two examples of individual assign-
ments,
two examples of group assignments.
Basis for the determination of learning
outcomes of selected study modules
of the reference degree programme:
study materials (text volumes),
four to five examples of online
assignments per module,
one to two exemplary solutions of
case studies per module,
examination regulations,
schematic diagram of module struc-
ture and process.
